DDR2 1066 dies young leaves a pretty corpse
A few hours a week, I have been testing old PCs donated to charity for re-use.
Recently, started seeing stuff that would have been high-end in its day. Now every system I looked at with 1066 MHz DDR2 had at least one dead DIMM in it. Would this suggest that the people who fit this overclocked the **** out of it? |

DDR2 chips are rated for an absolute maximum of 2.3V, but I have a BioStar motherboard that allows setting the memory voltage up to 2.875V. Also I've seen the rated memory voltage differ as much as 0.15V from meter readings. Are any of those memory modules Crucial Ballistix, especially the older ones rated for 2.2V? Crucial told me that they failed when the voltage was set too low, but no electrical engineer I spoke with believed that. |

How fast computer these people want it? DDR2 system has no problem running any software except games. The gamers are one who always desire for faster system cos they want to kill faster. I still use DDR1 since came out no trouble whatsoever.... Is this people life too slow or they can't stand DDR1 or 2 computer. I bet that DDR3 is slower for these them. This is like watching NASCAR or F1 too slow for them. |
